Break it off gently

Hi all,
It has just become apparent to me that i am not happy with my current partner, due to lack of focus and determination to dance competitions and so I have made the decision to break it off with her. Despite me choosing this option, I am still friends with this girl and don't wish to hurt her feelings. Any ideas on what to say to my partner that'll explain why I'm dropping her without hurting her?

The truth - but gently.

There is no easy way. If your goals are different. For instance if you hope to travel thousands of miles competing and with all the expenditure involved they may not. Maybe they are not capable of training as hard as yourself. As Telemark said. The truth but gently.

I hate to admit it but

Polished is correct.

Honesty is always the best policy in such a situation.

Simply tell your partner that you don't feel the same level of commitment from her that you're willing to make and you don't believe that she'll be willing to work as hard as you NEED (not WANT).

If that fails, start talking about the size of her feet.
